THE RISE OF END TIMES FASCISM
My first major piece of the new Trump era, co-written with @astra.bsky.social.
The governing ideology of the far right has become a

Automated both sides-ism is a hand full more nails in the coffin of “legacy” journalism.
"The entire premise is delusional," writes @karlbode.com about the bias-detecting machine put forward this week by the owner of the Los Angeles Times. www.techdirt.com/2025/03/05/t...

Yes. But they are missing that much of this has to be performative. That’s what Trump is great at and Dems are awful at.
You can’t just tell voters , you have to know how to sell voters.
Trump gives sales pitches, Dems show charts. One goes viral. The other is ignored and forgotten
